Hi,

You can't add same control to toolbar and designers controls. Create it again : pDesignerControls->Add(xtpControlButton, etc)

What is AddControl() for, and how would you use it?
Is there an easy way to clone a control? CommandBarControl->Copy() needs a CommandBar for its first param.

The information in the help file suggests you can add an existing control:

AddControl Method
Adds an existing command bar control to the collection.

Has anyone made any progress on this problem?

I also have a same problem.

To fix it, i already scanned the sample code supported by extoolkit.

And i found out some clue. whenever i implement custom control or popuped control on the toolbar, then whole custom menu related to this toolbar turned disabled or grayed. Is it bugs? or did i commit any mistake?

Hi,

Yes you need fill DesignerControls. In Customization event or just in initialization code.

I thought I was filling in the DesignerControls collection in 'initialization code'.
// ------------------------------------
// Create Standard Toolbar                                      // ------------------------------------
ICommandBarPtr pToolbar = g_spCommandBars->Add(_bstr_t("WhammyBar"), xtpBarTop);
pToolbar->PutBarID(ID_MAIN_TOOLBAR);
pDesignerControls = g_spCommandBars->GetDesignerControls();
pControls = pToolbar->GetControls();
pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");
pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document"));
pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl);

Thanks for the reply.

The items in the Add/Remove dialog are now active.
However, there are no commands in the Customize/Actions tab.

When I create the toolbars, I add the controls to the DesignerControls collection:
    pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");
    pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document"));
    pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl);

Or does the DesignerControls collection have to get populated in the Customization event handler?

Hi,

Call EnableCustomize only after all menus/toolbars will be created - it will create "original" state of commandbars.

Hello,

Is there a white paper or tutorial that discusses runtime user Customization of toolbars and menus?

In C++, I am doing this:
   pCommandBars->EnableCustomization(VARIANT_TRUE);

    pControl = pControls->Add(xtpControlButton, M_FILE_NEW, "");
    pControl->PutDescriptionText(_bstr_t("Create a new document"));
    pDesignerControls->AddControl(pControl);

When I click on the arrow to open the Customization dialog,
I see this:

Why are the command items greyed out?

And the Customize dialog -- how do I populate it:

Thanks for any advice...
